It had everything we needed. Host was very friendly and welcoming and checked in with us several times to ensure we were OK and had everything we needed. Would definitely book again.

The cream tea and orange juice were a lovely gesture, as was the milk, tea and coffee. The lodge was full equipped with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable, ideal location for exploring Cornwall.
